Descrizione del progetto
Una rete di banchi di prova a innovazione aperta per le tecnologie di produzione dell’idrogeno
L’aumento della domanda di idrogeno richiede un’adozione diffusa di tecnologie competitive per la sua produzione. Il progetto H2SHIFT, finanziato dall’UE, mira a creare il primo banco di prova a innovazione aperta per le tecnologie innovative di produzione dell’idrogeno, da destinarsi a start-up e PMI. Attraverso un programma di accelerazione, il progetto offrirà accesso aperto alle risorse, alle infrastrutture e alle competenze combinando servizi di test sulla produzione di idrogeno, servizi di ampliamento tecnologico e servizi non tecnici. Allineato con l’agenda strategica di ricerca e innovazione dell’impresa comune Idrogeno pulito, il progetto invita ad innovazioni all’avanguardia nell’elettrolisi ad alta temperatura e a membrana a scambio anonico, nel reforming di biogas e bioetanolo e nella produzione termochimica, fotochimica e offshore di idrogeno. H2SHIFT promuoverà un ecosistema collaborativo in tutta Europa lavorando a stretto contatto con le start-up e le PMI per rafforzare il ruolo dell’idrogeno quale catalizzatore della leadership dell’UE nelle tecnologie innovative basate su questo elemento.
Obiettivo
H2SHIFT – Services for Hydrogen Innovation Facilitation and Testing aims to create the first Open Innovation Test Bed for innovative hydrogen production technologies open to startups and SMEs from Europe and globally.
H2SHIFT will be a Single Entry Point offering open access to unrivalled resources, innovative infrastructures, unique expertise and capabilities, arranged in a challenging Acceleration Programme. The proposed innovation model combines:
• Hydrogen production testing services, including 7 test lines grouped in 4 clusters (Advanced water electrolysis, Bio-hydrogen, Direct-solar Hydrogen production, Hydrogen production in offshore environment);
• Technology upscaling services, such as Prototyping for industrial scalability, and Computational modelling;
• Non-technical services, among Techno-economic and environmental assessment, Legal and regulation compliance, and Business development.
The initiative boosts the Clean H2 JU SRIA on the path towards the upscaling of unmatched and competitive hydrogen production technologies distinctively trailblazing innovation in high-temperature and AEM electrolysis, bio-hydrogen, direct-solar and offshore H2 production, to build a complete portfolio with existing OITB projects dedicated to AEL and PEM technologies.
H2SHIFT kickstarts a collaborative ecosystem throughout Europe that links research, academia, and industry, along with final investors, working closely with startups and SMEs to advance groundbreaking solutions that will be demonstrated in industrial environment to advance their technology readiness and market uptake. Remarkably, H2SHIIFT scales up an open pay-per-use hub intended to circumvent expensive costs for early-stage innovators, lowering investment risks for potential investors and contributing to attract private capital for innovation. It contributes to make hydrogen a key part of a cleaner and more secure energy future, and a catalyst for EU leadership in innovative hydrogen technologies.
